Origin-Destination Matrices

The origin-destination matrices presented in this section include all travel
modes and cover the 24-hour period and a 3-hour am peak period.

There are two types of matrices for each period:

The origin-destination
matrix which presents all trip purposes and includes all trip records in the
database.

The home to work trip matrix which presents the first work
trip for each person.

The destination is the actual destination of the work trip, however, the trip
origin, as recorded in the survey, is replaced by the home location of the commuter.
This definition differs from the Place-Of-Work (POW) information from Statistics Canada in that the Census data
uses home to work linkages, not trips.

The survey area is slightly different between 2011, 2006, 2001 and 1996 and
significantly larger than in 1991 and 1986. Each year's matrices refer to TTS survey area as it existed during that time; The exact membership information can be obtained from the
2011 TTS Data Guide.

The trip matrices are presented separately for each survey year and are summarized by the the
participating TTS municipalities. Trips made to or from areas external to the TTS area are not
included in the tables. Therefore, these totals and subtotals are less than those presented in
the summary pages for each area.
